If I were in Intermediate, I would bring the spin in alway's unless it's blowing in. The problem is most intermediate pilot's havn't quite perfected rollers and for most it's the most nerve rackin part of the sequence. If they bring the spin in the orientation on doing the roller looking at the nose is different and more difficult in my opinion. It's more comfortable for most to take it out but if you start the spin on the far side of the box the roller is going to be way out there. This years sequences seem to focus alot on positioning, which is good.
